Intervention effect With tip heating, apical kernel endosperm had the same growth rate and final weight as basal kernel endosperm.
Intervention effect Tip heated apical kernels had higher sucrose concentrations.
Intervention effect Tip heated apical kernels had higher ADP-Glc starch synthase activity.
Intervention effect Tip heated apical kernels had similar ADPG-PPase activity.
Intervention effect Tip heating did not increase total grain weight per ear.
Intervention effect Tip heating increased the size of apical kernels.
Intervention effect Tip heating slightly decreased the size of basal and middle position kernels.
Intervention effect Tip heating hastened some developmental events in apical kernels.
Intervention effect ADPG-PPase activity reached peak levels earlier in tip heated apical kernels.
Intervention effect ADP-Glc starch synthase activity reached peak levels earlier in tip heated apical kernels.
Intervention effect Starch concentration began rising earlier in tip heated apical kernels.
Intervention effect Tip heating did not shorten the period of starch accumulation in apical kernels.

Other claims from this paper (13)

Intervention effect Heat shock decreased the fresh and dry weight of kale sprouts compared with control at harvest in study I.
Intervention effect Heat shock at 60 degrees C caused more pronounced growth inhibition than heat treatments at 40 and 50 degrees C.
Intervention effect Electrolyte leakage by cell collapse was highest in sprouts exposed to 60 degrees C distilled water.
Intervention effect Heat shock at 50 degrees C significantly induced the accumulation of phenolic compounds in kale sprouts.
Intervention effect Heat shock at 50 degrees C for 20 seconds or more gave at least 1.5 times higher total phenolic concentration than control.
Intervention effect Heat shock at 50 degrees C for 20 seconds or more gave at least 1.2 times higher antioxidant capacity than control.
Intervention effect Fresh weight of kale sprouts at 50 degrees C heat shock decreased significantly compared with control at one and two days after treatment.
Intervention effect Dry weight of kale sprouts after 50 degrees C heat shock was not significantly different from control.
Intervention effect PAL activity after 24 hours of heat shock was higher in all heat shock-treated sprouts than in control.
Mechanism Heat shock may stimulate the secondary metabolic pathway in kale sprouts.
Observation Seven glucosinolates were identified in kale sprouts.
Intervention effect Soaking sprouts in 50 degrees C water for 20 seconds had a pronounced impact on the accumulation of total glucosinolates, progoitrin and sinigrin at harvest.
Recommendation Hot-water heat shock is a potential strategy to improve the nutritional quality of kale sprouts.
